Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To be honest, Wu Jie had a very bad impression of the Qingliu people of the Ming Dynasty.  These guys pick up their bowls to eat meat and then put down their chopsticks to scold their mothers. They are hob meat types.

    Most of the Qingliu people were nerds who studied to death. After taking the imperial examination and becoming officials, their political talents were limited and they could not be placed in important positions.  They can only be sent to Qingshui yamen such as the Supervisory Yuan, Secretary Pavilion, Qin Tian Jian, and Imperial College to be raised. They are quite like the agricultural committees of later generations, and they are full of intellectuals.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    So, whoever was arrested and scolded was put on the line.

    It just so happens that this group of people still controls the direction of public opinion and cannot afford to offend them. Even the emperor has nothing to do with them.

    It was this group of people who caused the Xiyuan palace invasion this time. The cause was Hai Rui's petition to be arrested.

    Jiajing is also annoyed. Since you said it was wrong for me to arrest Hai Rui, then I will leave this case to you.  You can do whatever you say. No matter what, you can't escape Hai Rui's misconduct and disrespect while driving. You can't just let him go, can you?

    As the emperor¡¯s representative, Wu Jie was sent as an observer.

    Before this, even though they were both Jinshi, Wu Jie was insensitive to this group of imperial mouthpieces and had never had any dealings with them.  Besides, he was a close official of the emperor and stayed with Jiajing on weekdays. Others could not find fault with him even if they wanted to impeach him.

    When I saw Zhao Zhenji today, I found that the old man was familiar.

    Isn¡¯t this the censor of the Overwatch Council who led the invasion of the palace the day before yesterday?

    He had seen how powerful this old man was that day, and he felt a little frightened in his heart.

    I hurriedly collected the information in my mind and checked it out. I was shocked. This guy is amazing.

    ??Zhao Zhenji, courtesy name Mengjing.  No. Continent.  A native of Tongziba, Neijiang, Sichuan.  He was born in the third year of Zhengde of Wuzong in Ming Dynasty and died in the fourth year of Wanli of Shenzong at the age of sixty-nine.  Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing.  Granted Hanlin editorship.  He promoted Zuo Lunde and supervised the censorship in the first year of Longqing, which was the second year after King Yu ascended the throne.  This old man was actually appointed as the Minister of Rites, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and became a cabinet minister.

    Although he was not a famous minister, he still left his name in the history books.

    We are all from Sichuan. As the saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, tears well up in his eyes.

    I don¡¯t know how long the trial of Hai Rui¡¯s case will take. It seems that I have to cooperate with Mr. Zhao for many days, so Wu Jie intends to get close to him.

    Seeing Zhao Zhenji's face, he immediately smiled and said: "Wu Jie just heard that Mr. Zhao is originally from Neijiang. I am from Xinjin County, Chengdu Prefecture. Speaking of which, we are the same hometown! If I had known this, I should have come to Mr. Lao first.  Say hello to the door there.¡±

    But don¡¯t want to.  As soon as the words were spoken.  Zhao Zhenji immediately made a serious face: "What kind of door do you want to worship? Just because you and I are from the same hometown. If a traitor like Yan Song is from the same hometown as you, do you also want to worship?"

    Wu Jie is a bit boring. Although everyone in the strict party is calling for beatings, he is still the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and is not a rebel party. Why can't he worship him?

    Zhao Zhenji still refused to give up and continued to scold: "You closest ministers of the emperor all like to take shortcuts, which is not the way of a gentleman. I won't talk about you Wu Jie. At Yan Song's birthday party, Zhang Juzheng actually went to congratulate him and wrote this  Flattery and flattery are not disgusting."

    At this point, he spat on the snow with a sound of "Bah!": "This 'declaration hangs over the sun and the moon', this 'unparalleled work of supplementing the army, and it will be more pleasant in the evening'. They are so vulgar that they don't even need to be famous."  .¡±

    Wu Jie burst out laughing, this Zhang Juzheng could actually write such a poem. No matter what, the stain on his name cannot be washed away.

    Seeing Wu Jie smiling, Zhao Jizhen suddenly started laughing too and shook his head: "Hey, people become more impatient as they get older."

    Seeing that he was in a better mood, Wu Jie asked, "Master Zhao, how will you try this case?"

    "How to judge?" Zhao Zhenji said bitterly: "Hai Rui just told a few truths. Your Majesty is going to kill his head. Why don't you make a loyal and upright person feel cold? I think what Master Hai said, Jiajing Jiajing  , it makes sense to say that every family is pure!"

    Wu Jie: "Master Zhao, Master Zhao, please stop complaining. Wu Jie admires Master Hai's character very much. Aren't we discussing how to judge this case? No matter what, we must keep Master Hai's life."  Life."

    Zhao Zhenji then turned around and looked at Wu Jie: "Is this what Master Wu meant or"

    Wu Jie: "This is my personal opinion. However, in the system of our dynasty, officials can be heard and reported. Mr. Hai was the censor before he came to Beijing, so it is understandable that he will give a speech."

      Zhao Zhenjie¡¯s expression softened: ¡°Actually, there is really no way to judge this case.¡±

    Wu Jie smiled: "If you can't get the sentence, then we won't do it. Just drag it out. Otherwise, my lord, please advise Hai Rui to plead guilty. After all, it was his fault for disobeying the king and insulting his father before driving."

    Zhao Zhenji then became happy: "Yes, it is right to do this, but it is a pity"

    He suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that Haigangfeng is too upright and refuses to give in. He wants to win or lose in everything without caring about his personal safety. It would be difficult to handle this."

    Wu Jie curled his lips disapprovingly, an ant is still trying to survive, and Hai Rui is not a fool, so how can he be willing to seek death, and his life is not worth the trouble.

    In a few words, he actually had a lively conversation with Zhao Zhenji, and Wu Jie was also a little happy: I, Wu Jie, have a pretty good emotional intelligence. I can talk about people, ghosts, villains, and gentlemen. This is also a characteristic of modern people.  A special advantage!

    The two of them discussed it and took a sedan chair to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, to meet Jinyi Health Commander Cheng Guogong Zhu Xiyao.

    Zhu Xiyao was originally the successor of Zhu Neng, the hero of the Jingnan War. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked burly and had a dark face.  He is a serious person who can't even say a fart in three sentences.

    After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Xiyao said: "If we want to interrogate Hai Rui, we probably have to wait. You two adults, please come another day."

    Zhao Zhenji was furious: "You are so outrageous. We have already received the imperial edict and you are not letting us see Hai Rui. Zhu Xiyao, what on earth do you want to do?"

    Zhu Xiyao threw the imperial edict onto the case expressionlessly: "Two adults, speaking of the imperial edict, I also received a copy here. It was brought by people from Dongchang, and they also said that they wanted to interrogate Hai Rui. Now, Eunuch Chen  Your men are busy right now, why do you have to wait until they finish their work before it's your turn?"

    He continued: "They all carry imperial edicts. How can I know who is bigger?"

    Wu Jie and Zhao Zhenji looked at each other, gasped, and both exclaimed: "Take us there quickly."

    It would be troublesome if Dongchang intervened in this case. Suddenly, both of them had a bad premonition in their minds.

    Dongchang has always been cruel in its methods and has unlimited arrest, detention and judicial powers. As long as it falls into their hands, you will die or be exfoliated.

    Zhao Jizhen¡¯s first reaction was: Oh no, Dongchang is determined to kill Hai Rui.  This group of serious thieves knew that Hai Rui had offended Long Live, and Long Live hated him deeply, but they were afraid that they would not be able to silence everyone in the world.  Their purpose in Dongchang is to be this evil person, to do the favor of the king, and to take credit and reward.  Severe thieves harming the country should be damned!

    But Wu Jie thought further and felt even calmer: It seems that King Jing and Chen Hong's group are deliberately trying to make this case bigger to see if they can get anything out of Hai Rui's confession.  Things were framed on King Yu¡¯s head.  In the Hai Rui case, they had defeated Huang Jin, and now they wanted to expand their results and take down King Yu as well.  These people are really hunting dogs, and they won't let go once they bite.

    Zhu Xiyao still didn't open his mouth, and Wu Jie said slowly: "Mr. Cheng Guo, although Dongchang also has an imperial edict, the imperial edict we have in hand is just obtained, so naturally we must take the new edict as the standard."

    Zhu Xiyao hesitated before nodding: "That's the truth. Sirs, please follow me."

    So, the group of people walked towards the depths of Beiya.

    This is the first time Wu Jie has come to Fusi Prison in Beizhen, also known as Tianlao among the people, and he is inevitably a little curious.

    In the eyes of outsiders, the so-called Tianlao is the most gloomy place in the world.

    But when Wu Jie walked in, he found that this place was different from what he imagined.  There was no strict security, no dark cells, just small courtyards one after another.

    There were quite a few people inside, and the expressions on their faces were very calm. They could walk around and talk at will in the yard, and they didn't look like prisoners.

    The only difference from the outside is that there are no flowers, plants or trees planted in the yard, probably to prevent prisoners from hiding.

    What kind of cell is this? It¡¯s just a sanatorium!

    Wu Jie thought about it carefully and figured it out.

    Not everyone can enter the prison in Bei Yamen. If you meet the standards, there is no official position above the fourth grade. You can't even think about it.  If you are below the fourth rank, you will be thrown directly into Dali Temple. How can it be so troublesome?

    Because the people detained here are all high-ranking officials, there has always been a saying in ancient China that "officials cannot be punished". Naturally, scholar-officials cannot be imprisoned like other prisons.

    Wu Jie thought that Mr. Yang Zongzhi had been detained here for four years. Looking at the living conditions here, Mr. Yang probably did not suffer much, which comforted him.

    The ancient people went to workMorning, after struggling for more than an hour, it's only between seven and eight o'clock in the morning.  Winter dawns late, the sky is not bright yet, and there is deathly silence inside.

    After walking a few steps, they came to a small courtyard deep in Beiya. Wu Jie and Zhu Xiyao stopped.  Seeing many people in the courtyard, Chen Hong's loud voice came: "Listen up, everyone, the imperial court has committed a serious crime of treason. A head of the Ministry of Revenue has taken office and wants to force the emperor to abdicate. As for the people behind him, a  Everyone must be investigated. As the saying goes, if there are no internal thieves, there will be no external thieves. Some people are around us, just around the emperor. Now, let¡¯s start from the side."
